\"DevTeach\"DevTeach<\/a> is heading back to Toronto in a few weeks (March 8-12, 2010)and you\u2019ll get a bigger dose of awesome than ever before. We\u2019ve got a fantastic line-up of top-notch, internationally renowned speakers<\/a>. 6 tracks covering Agile, Web, Windows, Silverlight, Architecture, and SharePoint. A metric ton of sessions<\/a>. (I\u2019m both the Agile and Web Track Chairs and am really excited about the speakers and sessions for each.)<\/p>\n

\"ee402630.VisualStudio_lg\"Microsoft Canada is a platinum sponsor and every attendee receives a full copy of Visual Studio Professional with MSDN Premium. (N.B. Conference registration costs less than this subscription alone!)<\/p>\n

\"image\"And if you can\u2019t get enough of that Sugar Crisp<\/strike> James Kovacs,  I\u2019ll be there in full force with two sessions and a one-day post-con on agile development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Convention-over-Configuration in an Agile World<\/h3>\n

As developers, we spend an inordinate amount of time writing “glue code”. We write code to transform database rows to domain objects… domain objects to view-models or DTOs… We write code to configure inversion of control containers and wire dependencies together. We write code to style our UIs and respond to UI events. Wouldn’t it be nice if this could happen automagically for us? This session will look at using convention-based approaches using Fluent NHibernate and Castle Windsor to reduce the amount of repetitive code and accelerate application development. <\/p>\n

Convention-over-Configuration in a Web World<\/h3>\n

As developers, we spend an inordinate amount of time writing “glue code”. We write code to transform database rows to domain objects… domain objects to view-models or DTOs… We write code to configure inversion of control containers and wire dependencies together. We write code to style our UIs and respond to UI events. Wouldn’t it be nice if this could happen automagically for us? This session will look at using convention-based approaches using AutoMapper and jQuery to reduce the amount of repetitive code and accelerate application development. <\/p>\n

Agile Development with IoC and ORM (Post-Con)<\/h3>\n

As developers we now have powerful tools in our toolbox, such inversion of control containers and object-relational mappers. But how can we use these tools to rapidly build maintainable and flexible applications? In this pre-con, we will look at advanced techniques such as convention-over-configuration in IoC containers and automapping ORMs to quickly build applications that can evolve over time. We will use test-driven development (TDD) to design and evolve a complete working application with supporting infrastructure during this one-day workshop. <\/p>\n
